New Music from the past week 08/30/24 (Seefeel Jon Hopkins, Concrete Winds, Laurie Anderson, Nahtrunar, Chelsea Wolfe, Tristwch Y Fenywod, and lots more.)
Hazy, ambient Irish folk music with a shoegazy vibe. Very cool.
Concrete Winds will melt your face off. Full shred. Thrashing and chaotic death metal. Former members of Vorum.
Seefeel offer us their first new music since the 90s. Electronic music pioneers.
Chelsea Wolfe offers us an ep of remixes by artists like Full of Hell, Forest Swords, Boy Harsher, JK Broadrick, Crosses, and Ash Koosha. Cool as hell.
Yuko Araki is fairly new to me. I came across her work from a remix ep she released that had a Lawrence English remix. Really engrossing and original experimental/noise music.
Sur Austru feature two members of Nugura Bunget (if you have not heard of them, forget this list and go listen to ‘N Crugu Bradului right now). While quite distinct from their former band's sound, they continue to combine avant-garde black metal with Romanian folk music in a way that only they can. Recommended.
If you don't know who Markus Guentner is, well..... it's actually pretty understandable but if you like minimal techno and ambient music continues to release gorgeous music amid a nearly 25 year long career.
Even in a world of music as aggressive as hardcore, Nails stand out as a truly violent statement. This is pure somatic therapy in 17 minutes that will require at least twice that amount of time to recover from.
Great ambient/contemporary classical/experimental music. I discovered this through Patrick Shiroishi who plays on this album.
Some more minimal techno/ambient music from one of the biggest names in that scene.
Laurie Anderson creates music as fine art (or fine art as music?). This album feels like a showcase for the poetic lyrical content (think recent albums by Lonnie Holly and Moor Mother but more soothing). Featuring Anohni on multiple tracks.
Do you like Immolation and Incantation? Then you like Pneuma Hagion.
Jónsi delivers some beautiful, soothing music that does not fall far from his work in Sigur Rós. This album feels more like a collection of sketches which does allow him to play with some new and experimental ideas.
Nick Cave is back again with more stuff that sounds like Nick Cave has sounded for a while. It's good but I'd love a little more of the grit and urgency of his older material.
Atomicide play pure Chilean death metal that sounds exactly like pure Chilean death metal. Unhinged, blisteringly fast, and unrelenting.
Norwegian black metal with members of Obliteration.
A global project between musicians from Georgia, USA and Switzerland. One member is from the band Aara. Black metal.
Sludge and blackened doom come together in this project.
Atmospheric black metal from Austria. Fans of Alcest and Saddness take note.
This came out last week but I just discovered in and if you are a Steve Reich fan, this is too good to pass up.
